ChronoHistory

The Committee on ChronoHistory is charged with identifying, evaluating, recommending and implementing initiatives and mechanisms to ensure preservation of the history of our discipline, Chronobiology. The relative youth of our field and its growth and richness are counter-balanced by the aging and loss of founders and early contributors.

Preserving this history provides a basis for conceptual understanding of our field, and a sense of intellectual kinship. In addition, Chronobiology is viewed as a field of remarkably fast growth in integrative power since its formal foundation in the 1950s. Preserving materials that document this process are therefore valuable for a more general understanding of the generation of new ideas and research fields.
